Reverie Siam: "Excellent Hotel"
Nice hotel in a good location just outside the town and near to the river. The rooms are well appointed with lovely bathroom with roll top baths. Very clean and very nice comfortable bed. The surprise for me was the menu which is Mediterranean was a good selection to choose from.Villa Song: "A fabulous escape from the city"
We moved to Saigon about three months ago and like to treat ourselves to a weekend in a hotel now and again. Staying in Villa Song felt like a real holiday and an escape from the city. We loved the peace and relaxation. The customer service and staff were excellent. The room was beautiful and we loved the pool area. Both mornings we were threre it was very quiet, despite the hotel being at full capacity. We ate at the restaurant the first night and enjoyed the food very much and the breakfast was great. The free boat back to the city was fun and a fantastic way to see the city from a different viewpoint, although I was loathed to get off the boat and head home! We will definitely return for another weekend getaway soon.David’s Kitchen: "Sublime"
I assumed any restaurant in Thailand called David's would be french considering. I was a bit surprised when I met David as he met us at the door. I won't let my expectations ruin yours. He was so delightful on so many levels.But that was was just the meet and greet.The waiting staff were absolutely fantastic. Their english was wonderfu and the service was very very pleasantl. But the food. The food was fantastic.I would have to rate this as one of the best meals of my life. From the moment it starts to the end, everything is just little bits of perfection. I would dearly dearly love to live just down the road.Mathis Retreat: "Sehr schönes & ruhiges Resort"
Wir waren 3 Nächte im Mathis Retreat. Es war ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt! Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, der Pool ist klasse und bietet einen tollen Blick auf die Reisfelder. Restaurant und Frühstück waren klasse - man kann sich individuell à la Carte alles zusammenstellen. Wir hatten einen Bungalow der sehr schön war. 2x am Tag wurde sauber gemacht. Wir können das Mathis zu 100% weiterempfehlenTiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A very special place"
It's not often that I come across a place like Tiger Mountain which has such a rich history, character and genuine warmth. The staff led by Marcus is first class - almost all of them have been with the lodge from the start (nearly 20 years) so there is a sense of real family and connection. A colleague of mine who has lived in Kathmandu for the past 20 years recommended this gem to me and i can see why. Escaping the chaos of Kathmandu to the quiet hills and being surrounded by beauty, clean air and the option of relaxed strolls through the local village or an afternoon reading a book with tea while facing the mountains - it was perfect! But most of the all, the people made it special. Thank you Marcus and team for making my stay so memorable and for connecting me to such lovely and interesting guests - like Carol below whose birthday i celebrated on my first night there. I will be back very soon.Satri House: "Absolute oasis of calm and tranquility"
After the hustle of Hanoi we flew into Luang Prabang and spent 3 nights at the Satri House Hotel, it was superb. In easy walking distance from the town centre, fantastic beautifully furnished room and lovely grounds with charming pool. The staff were also first class --- I can't think of a single criticism. We have travelled in Indochina before and use trip advisor regularly but this is the first time I have ben moved to write a review ---it was excellent.Satri House: "Calme et raffinement."
"Inutile de chercher mieux. vous êtes au bon endroit. Tout est dans la recherche du détail et de l'authenticité. Pas le luxe absolu, mais un parfait raffinement que l'on trouve que très rarement. La chambre (321) est spacieuse, avec une très belle vue. Petit déjeuner parfait, lui aussi très ""raffiné"", un peu ""à l'anglaise"". De notre séjour au Laos, c'est certainement le meilleur hébergement que nous ayons visité parmi les très beaux hôtels disponibles. On recommande sans hésiter et on en profite pour féliciter l'ensemble du staff qui rend le séjour inoubliable."Cuca: "Our all time favourite restaurant"
True perfection.....chef's tasting degustation makes it easy..... Our kids were so welcomed and looked after. Dining in the garden was magical....such value for money extraordinary dining.Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Lovely relaxing cruise on the river"
I have done the Shangri La cruise, a cruise on one of the big party boats and this Supanigga cruise, I have to say this was the nicest with by far the most authentic Thai food. The staff who served us were charming and discreet and one did not feel ripped off as people have mentioned on other cruises. There was a free flow of bottled water and the drinks were not overly expensive. I would not recommend this cruise for young kids but for a romantic evening for a couple or an adult family or friends group it isn’t ideal. A nice touch was the crew singing happy birthday to my brother and a lady at the next table with a candle stuck into the mango sticky rice dessert. I thought this was far better than serving a cake for a birthday meal as usually one is too full to eat the cake anyway. Overall a big thumbs up to this cruiseRachamankha: "BEAUTIFUL hotel in the Thai tradition!"
It was great to experience the beauty of Thailand in the guest rooms, the restaurant and the gardens. The whole property feels zen and made for a very restful stay. The breakfast which was included in the price of our rooms offered many choices and everything was delicious. The service is impeccable and friendly. Every place we saw was kept clean and neat. It's an amazing place! I'll never forget it!
